Gr 4—6—These books look at the animals' physical features, habitats, diets, and behaviors and offer other introductory facts. Well-organized texts and good-quality pictures taken from photo archives provide the basics. Coyotes reveals how North America's "super dog" has had to adapt to survive humankind's continuous assault. The author uses the same approach in Seals, focusing on the different habitats and challenges faced by three pinniped subgroups: eared and earless seals and the walrus. Insets of information in colorful circles add to the attractive configuration. The simple language and good use of space make these titles serviceable additions.—Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA
